The Hueys in the New Sweater

32 pp. | Philomel | May, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-25767-4 $10.99
(3) K-3 When Rupert--who, like the other beings known as Hueys, resembles an egg with rudimentary facial features and stick limbs--dons a sweater, conformity ensues; in Jeffers's perfect line, "Being different was catching on." But when Rupert experiments with wearing a hat... The wordless ending to this ingenious meditation on thinking independently is funny, joyous, and a complete surprise.
